[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 8309504, member: 20323"] I was inspired by [USER=6796468]@Steampunkette[/USER] and [USER=7015558]@Urriak Uruk[/USER] in another thread that involved discussion of "Planejammer", so I riffed something... [I]Psionic Zorro in Interplanar Malaysia[/I] A mist-draped archipelago and island chain... where an oppressive regime with extraplanar backing is on the rise and fought back by psionic martial artists... some cities have elemental-infused technology thanks to elven contribution, though the elves have [I]mostly[/I] gone into hiding... secret psionic orders act as the hidden hand behind the thrones... Southeast Asian motifs... disruptive gates to the watery parts of other planes with rulers jockeying for control of the gates... captains with enchanted ships brave the treacherous passages between planes and lost isles... your family is rolled up and has both mechanical and narrative weight, potentially saving your bacon or introducing complications mid-adventure... equal parts swashbuckling vigilantism, intrigue, and discovering ancient secrets. It's swashbucklery – but outside the usual European cultural tropes. It's islandy / maritime-themed – both without being locked into that, and providing cosmological connection. It's got martial arts wuxia-esque elements – but not from the dominant Chinese influence. I don't know if I just described Green Ronin's [URL='https://www.amazon.com/Mythic-Vistas-Mindshadows-Roleplaying-Campaign/dp/1932442006'][I]Mindshadows[/I][/URL] setting... [/QUOTE]
